I now think a similar idea could apply to Finland.
Its 4 infantry can only move in the following territories:
Finland
Vyborg
Karelia
Norway
Sweden (not if the Axis are at war with the strict neutrals)

Nice, I see that you are gonna upgrade the tiger tank the next round to the E-100.
The big battle tank is ready to take some hits 💪🏻 -
@cornelis-post
Yes - the plan is to upgrade the Waffen-SS Panzer unit in Berlin to a Heavy Waffen-SS Panzer E-100 unit.The re-organization of the Waffen-SS units & Waffen-SS Armies must be initiated, since multiple Waffen-SS units were lost in combat on the Eastern Front.

Things don’t look good for the Allies. Economic victory seems close! And you’re doing my petty problem where it’s annoying when you skip numbers in armies (First and Third Panzer Armies, but where’s second). Can’t you just rename them?
Maybe you can add that to your rules.

Great! Japan has a free hand in Stalingrad (it’s two to one with tanks, right)?
And the Soviet eastern armies are trapped!
